SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 793,246, dated June 27, 1905.

Application tiled March 2,1905. Serial No. 248,120.

'/.en olI the `United States, residing' at laducah,

in the county ol )icl lraclten and State ol.E Kentucky, have invented certain new :md useful improvements in Lawn-Blowers; and 'l do declare tlm t'ollowine' to he a t'ull, clear, and exact description ot' the invention, such as will enahle others skilled in tlm art'towhich it appertains to malte and use tlm same.

ly invention is an improved lawn-mower having' a` registering' cutter-liar; and it consists in tlm construction, combination, and arrangement el devices hereinafter deserihed and claimed.

ln the :1t-conn anying' drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view olVA a lawn-mower embodying' my improvements. Fig'. 2 is a vertical sectional view ot the same, talten on tlm plane indicated hy tlm line l u otl Fie'. l; and Fig. 2:3 is a similar view taken on tlm line indicated by tlm line ot' Fie'. l. Fig. t is a detail plan view' ot' the linger-har.

ln the euihodinmnt ot' my invention l provide a lranm l, Vtrom the inner side of which projects a linger-bar 2. llm inner portion 23 ot' the linger-har is widened and is provided on its upper side with recesses i, in which a pair ol rearwzu'dly-exteinling; lm:n'in;'-arms 5 are Ae'ained. 'l`he said lmzn'ine'an'ms are appropriately spaced apart and carry an axlehar t3, on which revolves a rear supporting'- wheel 'i'.

'lhe l'ranm Vl counn'ises a pair ot parallel loul'itudinal outer and inner hars i) and H, respectively, tlm rear ends ol which are gained to the inner end portion ot the linger-hard. Un tlm inner side olf the outer har o is a lmarine` ll) lor a lolre'itinlinal shaftt tl, which is provided at its trent end with a spnr-pinion l2 and at its rear end with a crank-wheel 1?).

:\n axle li has its outer end secured to tlm outer end ot the har n hy means ot a holt l5 and has its inner end inserted in a transverse openingA lf3. with which the inner har is provided. n this axle is mounted a tront wheel li. which is provided on one side with acrowue'ear 1S, which meshes with the pinion l2.

(.)n tlm rear side ol' tlm lingerdiar at its outer end is bolted an axle 2l), which carries a snpporting-wheel 21. rl`he linger-liar is provided on its upper side with a longitudinal lmamll, in which the cutter-| ar Q3 operates. The lingerdiar is provided on its t'ront side with lingers Qi, which are lormed integrally therewith, and tlm cutter-plates ot the cutterbar operate in recesses 26, with which tlm lingers are provided. A. hloclt 7. having' a spherical socket, is secured to tlm inner portion otE tlm cutter-har hy means ol holts 28. A pitman 2*.) has its outer end connected to a wrist-pin or cr:inl\'wlmel and has a hall at its inner end which has its bearing' in tlm socket ot' tlm hloelt 2T.

It will he umlerstood that tlm rotation ol the wheel l'T causes tlm gears lo 12 to rotate tlm cranlvshatt and that the pitman which connects tlm craint-wheel to tlm cutter-bar causes the latter to reciprocate. By vertically adjusting' tlm hearings 5 and the axle 20, which may be done hy means ot' adjusting'- screws 32, tlm linger-bar may he raised and lowered as may he required to cause the `tri-ass to he ent at any length desired.

The handle 3l) has its lower end widened and hilurcated to t'orm leet 31, which bear on tlm hearings 5 and are securedthereto by the holts, which also s irve to secure the said heal'- ing's to the linger-har.

From the foregoing' description, talten in connection with the accompanyine' dra wings, tlm construction and operation ol the invention will lm readily understood withoutrelpiirine' a more extended explanatitn'i.

llaving thus descrihed my inventitm, what lclaiiu as new, and desire to secure hy Letters latent, isrw A lawx'i-mower comprising' a linger-liar, htfarine'au'ms secured to the inner end ol tlm linger-har and extending' retn'wzn'dly therei from, a rear suppln'tnm;-wheel carried hy said lening-arms, a trame at the inner end otI the linger-har comprising' a pair ot longitudinal outer and inner hars having' their rear ends secured to tlm inner end. ot the linger-liar, a trout sinporting-wheel carried at the liront end of the said bars and havingagezu, nei'ank-Y In testimony WheIeot1 I have hereunto Set Shaft having a bearing in the outer longitnmy hand 1n presence of two suhserlblng Wit- IO dinal bar and provided with a pinion engagnesses.

ing Said gem', a supporting-Wheel at the outer 5 end oi' the linger-har, a Cutter-bar carried by ROBERT ,L' TEAL' the iinger-bai', and a pitlnan connecting the VtnesSes: cutter-bar to the crank, substantially as de- J. B. HALL,
